REVOLVING WINDOW SASH.

Application filed April 6,

1928. Serial No. 267,923.

y present ention has reference to a pocket is covered when the trainerin set in :1;

window construction, and my object is the provision oi a eenii-circuhirwin dow having arranged :tor turning: therein a circular such, wherebythe said sash may be turned to open part or all oil. the window casing.

A further object the provision of a window constructimi which includce aeafing' having a semicircular ruoper portionv and a pocket dependingfrom said upper portion, a circular sash mounted in the casin forturning thereii'i together with means; for exerting a frictionalengagement againnt the cash to prevent the tree turning thereof,

means for turning the saeh and means for loclzu'ig the each. to thecasing when. in closed pool ti on.

The invention will be fully and comprellei'isively undo 'etood from aconsideration oi? the 'ioliowiinr detailed description when read in.connection. with the acconnianying drawings which. torzn part of theapplication, with the mideretainling, however, that the improvement iscapable of ext-ended apilication and is not confined to the exactHhowing oi the drowinge nor to the precise construction described and,therefore, such changes and modifications n'iay be made theret'roni asdo not affect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereofas expressed in the appended claim.

eferring now tothe drawings and to Figure 1. in particular, a window(frame is broadly indicated by the numeral 1. This frame has on uppersemi-circular portion 2 and a lower substantially rectangular portion 3,the latter aitording a pocket. The triin for the cncular portion of thecasting is indicated. in Figures 1 and. 2 by the nuineral 1, the sill bythe numeral 5 and the stool by the numeral 6. Of course the to Figure 1but building and like-wine, oi course. the semicirculor top portion ofthe frame is; arrans g'ed in an opening through the imildingij.

The oeini-circidar portion of thei rmne provided with inner and outerStlll rClltilllitlj' strips '7, respectively. and between those etripsthere is arranged the cylindrical eueh frame 8. In the showing otFigure 1. the

sash frame 8 is centrally divided by a strip 9, and between this Stripand one-lnilt': oi? the frame there is a transparent plate 10 end alsobetween this strip and the second hull of the frame there is a mesh 11.The inner side lnei'nbcre provided by the pocket 3 ot the Frame 1 havefixed thereon brackets 12 for frictional. wheels 13 that cont-int withthe periphery oi the oath frame 8. The sash frame is; provided with an.operating); element 1 'lhere are, oi course. euitabio latching meansbetween the each train. and the cylindrical porti on of the window :irane or its casing it. The friction wheels 13 eii ectivcly support theSash frame in the caeing and it. will be apparent that by graepingtheelement 1.4.- the frame can he turned to bring either its transparentface 10 or its mesh face 11 into or partly into the semi-circularportion. of the frame. By this means both light and ventilation may beobtained to a room in which the device is arranged and also by thisarrzlngcinont the entrance of insects to the room is proreuitcd.

In Figures 3 and 4-. the pocket of the frame is indicated by the numeral15 and. the eeniicircular top thereof by the numeral 16. The

window sill indicated by the numeral 17,

and the, trim by the nun'ieral 18. 1 0t: course, the trim is onlyarranged around the semicircular top of the WlIJdOW frame and the lowerportion of the fro-inc provides a pocket.

In this instance the sill 17 is provided with one or more brackets 19for a pivot 20 that pass through the lower or straight rail 23 oi? thesemi-circular sash carrying frame Also in this instance the operatingeloniei'lt tor the cash 24 is revoluble and actuatcs a toothed wheel 25to bring a spring influenced dog or latch 26 out of a keeper in thewindow frame. The cash :traino itehould be stated is held from sidemovement by inner and outer arched strips 27 arranged. in the archedportion of the window frame. It will be obvious that by turning theoperat; ing element 28 the bolt or latch will be brought out of itskeeper, which permits oii :thesash being turned in the window frame oreasing so thetthe sash may partly or whollyuneever the upper portion ofthe Window casing.

. In Figures 4, 5 and 6 there is illustrated a still furthermodification. In this instance the upper portion oft-he w ndow frame ori easing is indieatedby thenumerel 29; and the lower portion or pockettherefor by the numeral 30. Fixed 1n thispoeke; there are braekets thathave 'ourneled thereon friel tion wheels l end 325"espectively. The

circular sash carrying Ira i e travels besween stirps33in the erohedportion of the frame oreasing end in this nstance the rrame proper isindicated by the numeral is'of semi-cylindricalformation. but

.seenthat' the centrelportion ofthe treek is arched. This is for diereception of an open ating cord or cable 36, end the said cable being:

wound around. the grooved friction wheel 1 Also in this instaneerthe;friotionwheel 32 has secured in'its huh ssheft 3Z'thai: has :in

outer removable operatinghandle 38. Ohvlously by turning the handle 38the sash 3% muy be turned to bring lts glass to cover the es'eniieirouler'or ure opening in t= 1 tion of the window easing or touncover pe-rtly uncover this openinpz Also by this construction the;frietron wheels prevent lhe free turning of the sash. Also, obviouslythe sash maybe-centrally pivoted, us disclosed by-Figures'Q and 8' andhiiehingmeans "between" the sash and c-us *g 40 tures similier to theedisclosed by Figures vided, r p p I I In Flgure 7 I have shown two sashstruclend 5. These sash members areindieated for distinetionby thenumerelfs and 10 and 1 are eeolr provided with semi-circular truckextensions Q1 51 161 42, whiehnre centrelly depressedor grooved. Theouter periphery of each o'f;tl1e sashes 1s likewise depressed orgrooved. The lower periphery of the tracks and the sashes 2-39 and arecontented by friction wheels. The outer frietion wheels are indicatedfor distinction by the numerals H and and the inner frietion wheels bythe numerals and 47. These frietion wheels hove peripheral grooves andthere is trained uround the said wheels and trained through the groovesin the tracks and in the sashes an ondlcse operating cable 18. Thiscable is wound around the groove in the friction whccl Iii and the saidfriction wheel has its shall if) provided with a. removable operating);handle 50. By turning; the handic bolh oi the sl will be turned inunison.

Qbvieusiy the tracks nil'uchcd lo lhc sashes and Forming parts thereofprovide. with tho sashes substantially circular members and will be soreferred to in the uppcndcd claim.

The construction or my improved window and operating means rhci'el' rwill. if is thought. be understood and appreciated by those skilled inthe [H'il to which the invention relates so that furthedelailcddescription will not be re iuired.
